My group stayed here twice, before and then after a week long scuba liveaboard trip. The staff were very kind and accommodating. We booked day rooms after getting off the boat and this was so convenient to stay cool, rest, go for a walk to get our land legs back and get cleaned up again before the 40 hour journey home. The restaurant is very good with beautiful views of the ocean. This may be the best place to stay in Male!

Our stay was excellent. Great breakfast and overall menu, outstanding service. Airport transfer was a breeze. Would definitely recommend and stay again if I came to Male. We had an ocean view room with a private balcony on the 6th floor. Superb!

Provides a beautiful view of the ocean and is located conveniently around many shops and restaurants. The staff was incredible attentive. The roof top restaurant provide great food and a wonderful view at night. Rooms were clean and neat and while not very big provided all the amenities required.

We experienced a warm welcome from Gudu with a cold towel and a welcome drink, which made a great first impression. We were really satisfied with the smell of the hotel. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from both the room and the top roof restaurant where all stuff members were friendly and helpful.

Great little layover on the way to the Maldives.
The staff is great, the hotel is clean and modern, the roof top restaurant provides a great view and ambiance. The only issue. There is a lot of motorcycle noise outside late in the evening but that is out of the control of the hotel.

Ok, but very overpriced
Pros: - Early check in - Cold towels and welcome drink on arrival - Decent breakfast - Good service Cons: - Very few services available (no pool, no spa, rooftop only open after sunset?) - Very thin walls. Heard children next door all night

Great service, lovely room
Perfect place for a last day before flying home. They gave us an early check-in and really looked after us. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. The ferry to Male is a short walk away to explore the city. The best part was that they gave us a late check-out free of charge as we had an evening flight, which meant we could relax and enjoy the last day on the beach outside before being driven by them to the airport in a private transfer. Highly recommended, wish all hotels cared so much!

Very friendly and welcoming Hotel
We had an amazing 3 night stay at Hotel Ocean Grand. The free hotel pick-up was a welcome added bonus. We had an Ocean View room which was amazing! The room was very clean and very well equipped. The breakfasts were very good and substantial. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They looked after us very well, especially Aflal and Razam, who made sure our trip to the Maldives was a beautiful one. Thanks guys.

Not what it looks like on the internet, avoid
Well this property is not advertised correctly on hotels.com. It has 1 restuarant/kitchen/menu and two places to eat from it, not two restaurants. The food is not good. No beach with chairs and towels set up like in the picture The rooms are noisy with paper thin walls, and although maybe the size stated is correct the picture are taken to make them look far big from the balcony or outside the room etc. There are no onsite watersports like stated. Bottom line this is nowhere near 4 star and is being sold wrong, I was miss sold this hotel and charged full rack. The location is not good, you are better off in male if you actually have any time here to stay/entertain yourselfs. Bottom line only good if you are literally staying the night only or you are paying £100 or ideally a lot less. Think travelodge or premier Inn with a noisy room. I would avoid, unless your a getting a price to match the property and facilities.

Very Nice Hotel
This Hotel is located on the main Island, and is a great stopover for anyone wishing to travel to the other islands. It is a lovely boutique size hotel, very clean, comfortable and modern...... you wont be disappointed with the decor in this Hotel as it seems to be very new and chic. The only disappointing factor for me was that there was no soap or soap dispenser in the bathroom to wash ones hands, so we went out and bought some ourselves, which should not have happened in a 4 star hotel in the Maldives. Perhaps management should make that a priority in their hotel going forward. Apart from that all the staff were amazing and all so friendly which made us feel very welcome indeed. This Hotel has a courtesy car, and they will pick you up at the airport on arrival, and drop you back for departure which is a wonderful service from them. Their driver Asif is such a lovely gentleman, so polite and a real people person ..... his English is wonderful and it was so easy to converse with him. I found it a pleasure to be in his company, and a nicer young man you couldn't find. I hope his company appreciate him for the great job he does for them. Thanks again to everyone at the Ocean Grand Hotel for such a lovely stay. Regards ....Karen.

Yudi made my stay at the Ocean Grand Hotel.
This is a small Boutique hotel but a very modern place, and is located right across from a beautiful beach. The lovely roof top restaurant also shows night time views of the sea, with its shimmery reflections of the moon, which gives a lovely ambience while dining. The breakfast menu is very good, and served in a spacious open plan area downstairs. I have to thank all the staff as each and every one of them were so nice and helpful at all times. A special thanks though to our lovely friend Yudi in the Breakfast room who saw to it that we always had everything we needed for a good nourishing breakfast, and his politeness to us always,.... it was such a pleasure to see him there each morning with his lovely smile,and his readiness to help.....he loves working there and it really shows. Thanks to all concerned from two happy Irish guests.
